I have the DYMO turbo 450 :) but the address generated by Patreon to excel need to be fixed. That’s what I mean. Some people are all CAPS and some don’t use any Cap (boise, idaho) so I have to fix them all in the Excel file. After I fix them, I can print out the US addresses then I print out the UK and European ones because they’re different with how the post number and towns (counties) work. I have to abbreviate Road to Rd, Avenue to Ave. Apartment to Apt. Then it prints 2 labels every second I think! It’s fast! But in all, this takes several hours. Once the labels are made and double checked, I put them on and sign them. Add the date. At the post office, I pick the best stamp they have at the time that’s fun and add them on. Then the nice people take them and they’re off!!!

You should totally get you a label maker that hooks up to the PC. All it'll take is one formatted Excel file and you're good to go.

I’ve gotten used to it :) the toughest part is weird. The ALL CAP addresses are too long for the labels and I have to correct them in the label maker. I also have to abbreviate addresses so they fit. If the label is too small to read, it will take longer to arrive and a higher chance it won’t make it at all. That part takes the longest but safer and faster to use the label maker than write it myself. Also UK addresses are long and an extra line. I have to do them special. I also have to fix misspellings of some addresses. Lol 😂 some people spelled it wrong and I can’t manually fix addresses in patrons accounts. It’s so much fun to take them to the post office when it’s all done, pick out a cool stamp and Aya good bye!

The nerd in me wants to know, how long does it take you to do all the postcards? That's a lot!
